Windshield Wiper Cleaning
I have the Bosche Icons, the silicone ones, and they are now becoming a little streaky here and there. I'd rathe rnot dish out $45+ for another set. I have heard many myths on the proper cleaning agents, so I am now asking the pros. I have read about using either rubbing alcohol or WD40, but I am not sure yet.
What are some tricks you all have?
Thanks

I just wipe them down with Invisible Glass or whatever glass cleaner I'm using when I do the windows, but that's just me. I'm sure you'll get more replies soon.

try the 303 wiper treatment. it work very well and is alot cheaper than buying new blades

What I can't figure out is my wipers ar fairly fresh yet I can wipe and wipe and wipe them like 30 times along the blade with a towel and the towel still turns black like dirt is still comming off, always done that, never figured out why, all our vehicles same thing even the Lex.

i want to say that its the oil that keeps the rubber moist is wiping off when you wipe them with a dry cloth.

Is may be just me but the first time I used the 303 wiper treatment I thought is smelt like the aerospace protectant. I need to check that again. I know the stuff was white in the wiper treatment. Just a thought. Does anyone know if they are relatively the same?

When I've used AIO on the windows, it caused my wipers to bounce around a lot on the windshield. After a week, it settled down.
